An answer to an important question
What is the flight speed of an unladen swallow? (For fun, here's the entire script to Holy Grail).
Well, Jonathan Corum had done an analysis and the answer seems to be 24 miles per hour for an European Swallow (Hirundo rustica). Graham Taylor, however, seems to think the number should be 20 miles per hour.
Also for fun here's a sound clip imitating the discussion that would've happened if the Knights of the Round Table had been aware of Corum's work.
